| Obama administration looks to scrub security clearance list |
| 2013-11-21 |
| ...might be interesting to see who gets cut... I'm guessing it'll only start with Publicans. The Obama administration has ordered a government-wide reassessment of how almost 5 million Americans have been granted classified information security clearances and whether each person currently approved to see sensitive national security secrets truly has a need for such access. Reeling from National Security Agency contractor Edward SnowdenÂ’s leaks of top-secret surveillance programs and mentally computer contractor Aaron AlexisÂ’s deadly shooting rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, the intelligence community is coming to the conclusion that the sheer number of personnel with clearances is making the government and the country as a whole vulnerable to a slew of dangers. |
